Community Grants address the greatest needs across the Southeastern Alberta region. They provide essential funding to local charities & non-profit organizations, helping enhance our communities’ quality of life.

These grants are made possible by donors who contribute to the Community Fund. Investment income is distributed through an application-based granting process held twice a year.

Our granting priorities are shaped by local data and community insight, ensuring funds support solutions that address the region’s most significant challenges. Additionally, our rural granting priorities are informed by Rural Futures: Regional Development and Conversations in Southeastern Alberta, which explores the urgent priorities and opportunities identified by non-urban communities in our region.

Applicants in our Rural Community Fund Areas are encouraged to submit projects that address the unique challenges facing Cypress County, the County of Newell, Special Areas No. 2, 3, and 4, the M.D. of Acadia, and the County of Forty Mile.

Applications open August 14, 2026 at 12:00pm.
Letter of Intent Deadline (LOI) is September 14, 2026 at 4:30pm.
